A Lovely Girl Turning into a Rat

“I’m going back to my body.” Dong Ci bowed to Black Emissary and White Emissary, and continued, “So sorry for giving you so much trouble.

Black Emissary began to speak before White Emissary, “We have been fired.”

“Why?” Dong Ci asked.

White Emissary replied helplessly, “Because you have changed your fate in the previous life. But it doesn’t matter. We have a lot of money, and we will resume our positions soon.”

As a saying went, “Money makes the mare go.” In the nether world, money was also almighty.

When Dong Ci woke up, she saw Luo Nan sitting by the bed. She had been in a coma for such a long time that she was now nothing but skin and bones. Dong Ci was taken aback by her own skinny body. The spring had come and peach blossoms were all open in the bright sunlight. Bees were humming around from flower to flower. It was really a lovely day. Dong Ci finally recovered from the vegetative state.

“You’re finally awake!” Luo Nan shouted, “Doctor, please come here…”

A doctor came in and said in a calm voice, “Congratulations on waking up. In the past, many patients in our hospital woke up from the vegetative state like you.”

“I want to go home.” Dong Ci struggled to sit up and tried to get out of bed. Since she came back from the jaws of death, she had been only allowed to eat liquid food. Luo Nan grabbed hold of her arm and stopped her, “Take your time. I’m going to buy some milk and bread for you. You will have a check-up soon. I’m afraid that you will get hungry after that.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

With that, Luo Nan went out. Dong Ci turned to the nurse and asked, “Did anyone else come to visit me when I was in the coma?”

The nurse answered, “Yes, it was a man. He always came to see you late at night. But he doesn’t seem to have been here in the past month.”

‘Chen Qi! It must be him!’ Dong Ci thought.

A general physical checkup required patients to strip off all their clothes. Dong Ci hated the general physical checkup. She was particularly disgusted to be touched by middle-aged male doctors because their eyes and fingers were as cold as their stethoscopes.

After the examination, the doctor said, “You are well enough to leave the hospital. But you still have to recuperate. So you’d better stay at home and take a good rest.”

Luo Nan helped Dong Ci out of the hospital, his face shining with tenderness. The special nurse looked at their receding figures and thought, ‘What a lucky woman!’

The car cruised down the road with its windows open. Dong Ci stuck her head out of the window and looked at the crowds and high buildings on the roadside. On the surface, everything remained unchanged. But in essence, everything was changing.

Dong Ci went into the familiar house. The man by her side was her fiancé. They were familiar with the smells of each other’s bodies.

Luo Nan was so happy that he picked Dong Ci up and spun her around. “Honey, you are home at last. I hope you can eat more so that you can regain your good, full figure. Otherwise, you won’t look good in the wedding dress.”

“Wedding dress?”

“Yes. Have you forgotten that you promised to marry me?” Luo Nan laid Dong Ci on the sofa in the living room.

“Oh.” Dong Ci nodded, “Now I remember.”

Luo Nan’s phone rang. He went to the balcony to answer the phone. After a long phone conversation, he hung up and hurried back to Dong Ci. “I’m sorry. I have some important business to deal with. So I have to go now. I will come back to have dinner with you two hours later.”

After Luo Nan left, Dong Ci dialed Chen Qi’s number but all she heard was a recording, “Sorry! The number you dialed is out of service…”

‘Has his phone run out of credit? Oh well, it doesn’t matter anyway,’ she thought.

When you really wanted to find a person you cared much about, even if you lost contact with him, you would do everything you could to reestablish contact with him. When you didn’t want to approach someone, even if you had his number, you wouldn’t call him and say a kind word to him.

Two hours later, Luo Nan came back. They went out to eat Indian food that Dong Ci liked. She looked quietly at Luo Nan who was sitting opposite with a gentle smile and a spot of curry paste on his lips. She could clearly see the warmth and gentleness in his eyes. Obviously, her fiancé, Luo Nan really loved her. He was a dependable companion.

Dong Ci felt a sense of satisfaction. The corners of her mouth rose slightly and her eyes glimmered with happiness, on the surface at least.
